Professionally I worked as a Divisional Manager in the Life Insurance industry and retired in 2022. Though I pursued a career in Finance for a living, the deep, driving passion of my life has been the study of various religions and philosophies. I started this study at the age of 25 and in the course of my study in these 37 years, I have explored almost all the major philosophies of the East and West and delved into every religion and mystical tradition of this world. If I have to describe myself as a person, then I would say that I almost lead the life of a hermit – withdrawn from the world most of the time, immersed in my study, contemplation and writing.
My studies led me to realize that the knowledge and wisdom contained in the philosophical and spiritual traditions is extremely valuable to lead a life of contentment, joy and peace. But this knowledge is beyond the reach of most people because it involves deep study, a love for that kind of study and an investment of time which most of us are incapable of making. So, I decided to make this extremely valuable knowledge accessible to the general lay reader who doesn’t have any background of study of this kind, by putting it in an easy and entertaining manner. That is the whole object of my writing. My writings act as psychotherapy. And true, authentic spiritual guidance. Not the self-help and motivational kind. I am not here to tell you How to make more money and how to be more successful. That need is served by the motivational speakers. Through my writings you would get glimpses of the wisdom of the great Masters and you would know how to open yourself to that higher wisdom; how to see through the outward sham and illusions; how to be inwardly happy and how to discover meaning and purpose in life.
My writings are an expression of my relentless and steadfast pursuit of knowledge. And I continue to learn and write. I believe that the quest for knowledge need not be a serious and dull affair. It can be joyful and done with a smile on your lips. Enlighten, Entertain and Inspire. That’s how my writing can be summed up. If you have not read any of my books, start with Eating His Money – The Antics of a Metaphysical Clown, which is a unique blend of humour and spiritual wisdom. Laugh and learn as the enigmatic clown Mulla Nasrudin takes you through a spiritual journey with laughter as a constant companion.
